Colonial Boy Lyrics

If you ever need a friend in me
...ever need a friendly deed
Please don't ever let me
Slip away
What I'll miss in the travesty
Is easier than it needs to be

Please don't ever let me slip away
Because it's cold in the fantasy
I'd do or say anything
Sell me, tell me, I'm wild
(I'm wild)
As I am in the fantasy
I'll do or say anything
I dance for thee 'cause we
All enjoy a wild colonial boy
-Cats- Time! Time!
Paddington, Paddington
That's the saviour
Awe saw sale ya!
Watch the boy he feels it all
Watch the boy he heals it all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
